Fried Fish Premises.
54 promises are on the Register, 7 have been closed during the year
and 6 have been opened. Of these 3 were formerly used as Fried Fish
Shops. The reconstruction of the old type of shops proceeds slowly.
The following represents the work carried out during the year:—
Reconstructed 5
Improved 4
Cleansed 9
Cold storage is now provided in 20 shops and electrically driven potato
peelers arc installed in 48.
Fish Curers' Premises.
33 premises are on the Register, two having been closed during the
year. One has been reconstructed, one altered and five have installed
cold storage.
As a local trade the business of Fish Curing is rapidly decreasing,
the quantity of fish smoked has been small in comparison with other years.
In general the removal of offal has been conducted in a satisfactory
manner and no complaints have been received. The periodical cleansing
of fish shops is carried out at frequent intervals and is invariably done
without the service of notices.
FOOD FACTORIES.
Factories where food is prepared are inspected periodically.
During the year two new food factories have been established on the
riverside.
The factories supply many retail Butchers' shops all over the country.
BACON STOVES.
There are five bacon stoves in the Borough which are subject to
periodical inspection.
Complaints were received in regard to smoke and odour; which were
dealt with.
